as in, that party has controlled state politics dating back to the CIVIL WAR. The last time a Democrat won election to a Kansas US Senate seat - was also the same election when FDR became president! (Also, the last two Democrats who won the Kansas electoral college votes - FDR in '32 and '36, then LBJ in '64.) Kansas is just that solidly R.

Marshall's first election in 2020 was an 11-point win, slightly underperforming Trump. And back in 2014, a nationally favorable year for Republicans, Pat Roberts won by a similar margin over an independent candidate after the Democrat withdrew from the race.
